THE LONDON. JOURNALS. - ± DAMY EXTRACTS FROM Itig MORNING PAPERS, • )OIAY / 6, 1826. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] During, the interval between the last tilscussion of the measure to permit the bonded Corn ter be thrown into , the market, and Foreign Corn to, be imported dutinglhe4tecessrAndlegterday, Ministers have pro bably beenleeling,their way with the landowners, and the modification of the plan by Mr. Canning, last night, is probably the result of the communings. Our Rt aders'will see that Ministers have consented to re strict the permissive power of importing Foreign Corn to 500 quarters, and with a view to meet the diffi . clay. of : determining beforehand what should be the price at which importation might take place, as one sum might be , aonsidered a very proper price when the country was in. a flourishing state, while it . might be otherwise when the country was in a depressed condi , Lion, they hive. consented to place no restriction on the price ; and not to fix the duty. The Squires in the 11 °Use, however, seem as inimical as ever to the measure, The chief objection to the `measure was, that it inter fered with private property. "If carried into effect," said Lord Althorpe, , " it would place all the farms in the country at the disposal of his Majesty's . Mini sters." This is no doubt true, but then this is the necessary result of the present state of our Corn legis lation. All who have made purchases since the de claration of Ministers that they would not meddle with the Corn Laws this year, speculating on a rise, woUld lie Affected by thihwing the Bonded Corn into the Market. The restricted importation which Mini sters wish to have the permission of, could, however, hardly have Any such extensive effect on farms as Lord Althor pe states: But then, if property be af fected by the* measure, the effects of a famine price on • an unemployed population, might affect both property tand pen.!C» a much more seriously. Whichever way 'Ave turn, so king as we are in this artificial-state, we are '''beset with difliceltieS. Mr. Benett, of Wiltshire; cora municated to the Rouse the important discovery, that variety of other articles had risen as much as Corn. It would be singular if a rise in the price of food, which must affeet,all - labour, should not raise the price of commodities. Shoes bad risen (he said) 140 percent." But what does the Hon. Gentleman think of our cot- manufileturers having to pay this high price for their shoes, and a high price for their food, while they can receive no higher prices. for their productions (two thirds of which arc for the foreign market) than are obtained by the manufacturers of German, who, ac cording to a well-written.letter in The Times of yes terday, pay only the following prices for their food:-- Rye Dread :AA. per th., or ed. the loaf of 4th. Wheaten Bread id. to Id. per lb., or 3d to 4d. per loaf of 4th. Potatoes - 7d. to 7P. per Winchester bushel I3uteberi Meat 'lid. to eld. per lb. Pork 6,1311 per lb. Putter - rid. to per lb. 11 , :!er - - 4d. to 44d. per gallon. Girl_ ` - e. ad._ to- 3s. hid. per gallon. Can we wonder that the paticrit, frugal, provident, indu!, , t lions , natives of germany, who, according. , to: the sanie writer, send their goods even to France,. • and undor!.xll the French manufacturer in his own market,' int , pito Of ciAniden,thle duties, should be gra dually vin 4 ussciut of foreign markets ? Our country is admirably aituated for eiltilMOTCO ; but we are not aware of any adso for manufacturing which an .Engli3innan possevses over, a German, who is equally strong with himself, equally durable, and perhaps more. persevering. Why should he chive capital out of the country to find a more profitable employment on the Abinc , to. property, it is more secure 4U--most, parts of Germany than it is in Eng- JteEficl for the law favours fraud in England more than Itit either Fiance or Germany. It is melancholy to think that the prOverity of this county should, be so sported with. Ireland 14 at length about to be relieved from the se.rvios of .Loral Norbury.

Who had pretended to fix the day beyond which a cook was no longer to be deemed worthy of directing a culinary process ?" Perhaps this illustration may enable the Right Honourable Secretary to com prehend why a Judge, who is incapacitated from knowing what passes at the trials over which he pre sides, might be seated elsewhere than on the Bench, much more beneficially to the public, if not more comfortably for himself. When a Judge, like the Archbishop of Grenada, will take no hints from his friends as to the inroads of age on his mental powers, there should be some succedaneum. Admitting the difficulty with regard to the interference of the Crown, or even the interference of Parliament, still there ought to be some body to whom the public could ap ply to have a Judge, no longer fit for the discharge of his duties, removed from office. Even in the case of Lord Norbury, we observe Mr. Peel only hopes that he will withdraw. The Lord is to be coaxed to quit the Bench, as a child is coaxed to take physic. We really think this ought to be otherwise.—lbul. [MORNING HERALD.] Jaeobitism is in great favour at the present day. The secret was first discovered and the fashion set by Sir W. Scott. It is .but three quarters of a century since the last rebellion in favour of the Pretender, and so completely have names changed, that the same thing is now called loyal fidelity which was then called treason. This is the direct contrary of what it should be. The men who established the Revolution of 1688 corn batted the principles of Jacobitism, not the persons'of the Stuarts. At present the fashion is to proscribe the family, but to adopt and cherish the principles. But is the .reversal of the attainders of the adherents of the House of Stuart a measure to be condemned ? By no means. The laws of attainder are themselves unjust,: unnatural, and cruel—and the only objec tion is, that there is not a sweeping, or an extended reversal, on a general , principle, and at least some mitigation of what is called corruption of blood. What can be more flagrant than to punish innocence, and infinicy in the cradle, for guilt of which it was even unconscious ? The law of the Eastern nations, in the earliest ages of the world, carried attainder to the extinction of the traitor's whole family. Our law is only less unjust and cruel in degree. There is no period more opportune than the present for this reform. nem is no party at home or abroad that presumes to think of a change of the succession or subversion of the Constitution. Even in the reigns of Queen Anne - and George 'II., when ,the Crown was held by a dis ptited and 'precarious tenure, the Legislature was so. nauseated and shamed by the barbarous severity of attainders, as to modify the law prospectively, upon the death' of the Pretender and his issue. Mr. Peel adverted to the reversal of the attainder of Lord Ed ward Fitzgerald.. But he surely cannot have con founded that attainder with those of the Jacobites. The latter were convicted by legal trial, or proved to have fallen with arms in their hande---;or to have fled from justice. The attainder of Lord Edward Fitz gerald was in law exactly likethat of Algernon Syd ney—a mere mockery, supported by only one .witness, and. some papers traced to him—the single witness being a , discredited and perjured informer, to whom "the law," as the lawyers themselves say, " resorts with .abliorrence,"—with this aggravation, that the Irish Parliament tried a dead man, who had died of wounds received in the act of apprehending him—and that Judge Jefferies tried a man who was liVing to make his defence. If, however, the case be men tioned in proof of the Kipg's personal disposition to do acts of royal grace and mercy, ~nothing is more just. The words of his contemporaries are not the best evi dence of the virtues of a Sovereign.' But if posterity be not Unjust, it will be said a his present .Majesty that there was no English, King.to whose disposition it was more alien to he !severe, and to lohoin acts of lenity and humanity, were mote COngenial. • ,E 41,11: Our account from Manchester deserves minute at tention, and we are. sure it will be gratifying. We have only this caution to instil—Let not the public, let not statesmen, let not Alinisters, noW that the dan ger is subsiding, learn to despise and think lightly of popular commotions 'excited by distress. Let them not find a precedent in' the facility with which those tumults have been appeased; but rather let them quote to themselves and to each other, the terrors which 'sere first kindled, in their minds by,the first breaking out of disturbances in the manufacturing districts; and let them avoid Whatever 'could by any possibility'lead to a similar crisis.- Besides, easily as the turmoil seems to be subsiding, blOod has been Shed in it. Life has been taken by military weapons; but life ought' not% so' taken away in any free country except by 'the award of the law.—'We fear, in many cases of combination, the mischief is el lowed to proceed through the 'want of firmness through the pusillanimity of the masters. We spe a k I with proud recollections on this subject. A master should ba master ! or he should quit his situation The contrast. between master and journeyman is as simple, as intelligible, and as brief as need be. The journeyman says,—and has a right to say,—" Give me these wages, .I will not work for you." The master, on the contrary, says—" Take what- I offer, or I will not accept of your labour." There needs not one word more to be said on the subject. But a master who suffers one portion of his establishment to inti midate, or drive, or entice another - from their work— who permits the turbulent to force the peaceful from their labour—should be thrown down and :spit upon by the lowest apprentice in his manufactory: and we should not be sorry if a law were passed, that all mas ters against whom such treachery could be proved were rendered infamous—were held incapable of giving evidence in a court of justice, or of serving on . juries. We drop these as hints to Messrs. Clog, Norris, and Co., and we would particularly recommend as a prin ciple of action in the distribution of the public cha rity, that paragraph of our correspondent's letter which we have printed in Italics : " The separation of the really sziAring• poor, " from- the tvanto4 vicious and rifractory, is essen ce tial in considering the application of the public cc reliff." Combinations, which are but unions in distress, deserve a ditrerent treatment. Such combinations should be prevented - if possible;. but having uiifoxtu nattily occurred, they should be dissolved, as fires are ' extinguished, by every one lending the best assistance he is able to the sufferers; and the Legislature should sdopt a system of . poli c y, w hi c h s hould remove the apprehension of 'similar disasiers. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 5. BURGOYNE V. FREE. In this case a libel had been filed in the Ecclesiastical Court , against the Rev. Dr. Free, rector of Sutton, in Bedfordshire, for profane swearing, incontinence, and a variety of other offences. The defendant filed a delaration in prohibition, in this Court, to suspend the proceeding below, on the ground that the suit had not been instituted within six 'months after the commission of the alleged offences, as required by 27 George HI. Cap. 44. To this there was a plea that this statute applied to suits against lay par sons only. The defendant tlemurred to the plea, and the de murrer was argued on a former day. The COURT now gave judgment, and said that incontinence was not the only offence charged against the defendant. lie was charged with profane swearing, neglecting divine service, using the porch of the parish Church as a stable, refusing to . baptize children, taking exorbitant fees for baptisms, and turning swine into the church-yard—all which offences were cognizable by the church, when committed by one of her own body. The Statute that had been cited extended to the clergy as well as the laity, where clergy and laity were upon the same footing. But this was not a suit instituted for the reformation of the manners or the good of the soul of the offender, but for his removal and deprivation ; and therefore there ought to be a consultation in the Ecclesiastical Court as to those parts of the libel preferred for the defendant's deprivation. TIIEXING V. W. ii. ELLIS. The COURT gave judgment in this case also, and decided that as the prisoner had been sentenced to fourteen years transporta tion for petit larceny, in stealing from his mistress one shilling, the Court of Sessions at Exeter bad exceeded the authority of the law, and therefore, as the sentence was bad altogether, no fresh judgment could be given. Mr. Cuirry then moved, that four other indictments which were preferred against the prisoner for similar offences, and to which he had pleaded, might be removed into this Court by Cer tiorari, to lay the ground for changing the venue, as it was sworn by the prisoner, that utter what had already livened there, he 'could not have a fair trial in that city. The Court doubted whether they could ultimately change the venue from the county of the city of Exeter, but granted the Certioi•ari. In the mean time the prisoner is remanded to Newgate until next Term. LIBEL ON CDL. BERKELEY. THE KING V. BRYAN. The defendant was brought up to receive the judgment of the Court, having pleaded guilty to an information filed against him as the publisher of a weekly paper (Common Sense) for a libel on Col. Berkeley. The article imputed in gross terms that Col. Berkeley had forced - himself into the bed-chamber of Alias Foote in Edinburgh. Mr. Jusiice BAYLE'Y sentenced the defendant to be imprisoned three months in Newgate, and to enter into sureties for his future good conduct. DOE, ON THE DEMISE or BARTHWAITE, V. VARDIEL., This was an action of ejectment which had been tried in York shire, and the Jury returned a' special verdict for the plaintiff, sub ject to the opinion of the Court, as to whether the plaintiff, being born out of wedlock in Scotland, but, on account of the subse quent marriage of his parents, made legitimate by the laws of of Scotland, is capable to inherit landed property in England.— The case had argued for three days, at this Term, by Mr. Tvx- DAL, for the plaintiff, and Mr. CQUATNEY, for the defendant. The LORD Cum' JUSTICE, in delivering judgment, said, that the impv(msion which the question had first made on his mind re mained unaltered, and that was, that though personal property in England followed lea donticills, yet landed .property followed /ex loci. Though the law of England gave way to the laws of other' countries respecting personal property, yet they did not as to landed property—and though they admitted the legality of .mar riages contracted in foreign countries, yet they did not adopt the consequences of such marriages. The statute of Merton was de cisive of this point ; it declared "that every person, horn out of wedlock, shall be a bastard, whether he be born in England, or in. any other country, it mattered not." The inheritable.quality was not in the personal status, but in the land itself, and depend ed on the tenure by which it was held. Land held by Borobgh English were inheritable by the youngest sou; hind held under Gavelkind, by all sons alike. The other Judges delivered their opinions to the same effect, and judgment was given for the . defendant: COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAY 5. CRIM. CON.-UI.IOII V. .31,BLLICSLEY; Mr. Sergeant SrANKJE moved for a rule calling upon the plain tiff to show cause why the trial of this cause should not be post poned until the Sittings after Michaelmas Term. In support of his motion the Learned Sergeant read the affidavit of the defend ant, stating that several persons named in the affidavits who were now in Italy, and other foreign parts, were material witnesses, and that in their absence he could not safely proceed to trial. Mr. Justice PARK-.-I read the affidavit When it was sworn, and 1 think that enough is stated to entitle the defendant to a ride flir postponing the trial; hat the defendant is desirous to have the tri.d postponed until the Sittings after Michaelmai Term. I sec 'nailing in the affidavit to jultif. the Court in, postponing the trial until the,time required 1.. y the dell:ll4in but I see no rea son why wa . shOuld not grant a rule for postponing the trial until thy Sitting!

Wells ley 410 in his affidavit, that has taken "pains to Procure the attendance of the witnesses iu time for the tglalcif the,sattee in the ordinary course? Mr. Sergeant Sratottx—lle does, soy Lord; and he says that he does not think , he cam proeure.their attendance until the Sit tings after Michaelmas Term. Mr. Justice Pani..-I know he dot's; hut I see nothing stated in the affidavit to lead me to think that their attendance cannot be procured for the Sittings after next Term, which is the longest 'time we ought to give, accort!ing to the rules of this Court. . Mr. Pergeant . SPANKl.g—But if there are any physical impos sibilities in the way, I hope your Lordships will depart from the ordinary rule. _ , . Cum' JusTim--I can see no impossibility in bringing wit nesses from any part of Europe between this day and the Sittings after next Term. However, you may take a rule to show cause: Rule granted. • ' - . POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN.---Yestertlay Mr. Roocus, the sitting Magistrate, was engaged iu investigating a charge of bigamy, against Mre—ilizabath Wilson, a woman apparently beyond the middle age, she having intermarried with her. present huaban4 Mr. Peter Wilson a builder, , melding in Lloyd's-row, lalington„ her farmer husband,: Joseph Goff, being still living. The pan excited considerable interest: The prisoner, who has been for some time sepprated . front her former iinsbund, from whom she W;l4 receivinz was brought up by a constAle on' 'l'huraday, charged by Wilson, with creating a disturbant4 around his house, .and threatening to demolish all the windows; but the Magistrate taking into consideration that they were man And .wire, di--' .missed the complaint, upon the woman making a solemn .de claration that she woldd never go near his house again, and she was about to gnitthe office, when she was again brought back, by William Read, jun., the otheer i and placed at the' bar on a more serious charge, her - husband 'having preferred a . charge of bigamy against her; but the' first husband, Goff, not being then present, her examination was postponed till next day, upon Wilson promising to procure the attenjanc e of the first hut: hand, and all the necessary witnesses. Accordingly, at 12 o'clock yesterday, Mr. Wilson attended,' bringing with him the prisoner's first hthilatu,l, Goff, who is em ployed in the coal trade • and on the aceused- being placed at th e bar, 0 1 1ie seemed deeply affected at her serious situation.. Goff, the first husband, stated, that at the. time he first be came acquainted-with the prisoner at the bar, she went by the name of Elizabeth Garrod ; that after he had paid his ad-' dresies to her for some time, he led her to the 'altar on-the 4th of February, 1806, and they were married by banns at the parish church of St. Mary, Lambeth. At this time he was a private soldier in the 3d Regiment of Foot Guards, and was obliged to go with the Regiment abroad, and was engaged in the battle of B urrosa . He remained' alit-Litt& till after the battle of Waterlo o , _wheg he came home with time regiment, think ing to be receiv e d by his wife: instead .or discovered that she had committed a robbery, for,whielt she had been tried and convicted, anti sentenced to two years' impt;isonment _ 'He therefore determined never again to live with her; :and upon her liberation from prison, he went before the parochial officers, who: carried him before Mr: Fielding (now deceased), -the Ma'gistiate 'at Queen-tignare Office, in whore presenta. , hi -arranged with the parish to allow her a separate maintenance. For ,owe time she was in the habi t o f com i ng ev ery week for tier money' hut; ,all of a aqd9n, she dropped coming, and be neyer beard of hcr till WANOII6,I upon by he Wilson, her second hu4bam,rl , who stated that she had intermarried With him. (Here the certificate of the first marriage between the prisoner, Elizabeth Garrod, spinster, and Joseph Goff, bachelor, was handed in. It was witnessed by. John Tucker and Ann, his wife. The docttmeut also bore the signature of Messrs. Galler and Sever, the two individuals who were at that period parish clerk end sexton of the parish of Lionheth. The Magistrate asked Goff if Tucker and his wife, who were present at his marriage, and whose names appeared on the Certifi cate, were living and to be found. Goff said, that unfortunately both were long since deceased. Tucker was slain at the battle of Waterloo, and his wife shortly after /lied from grief. Mi. Wilson said, thatboth Mr. Caller and Mr. Seager, whose names were attached to the document, Were yet in existence, and were now living immediately opposite Lambeth church. The Magistrate said that it would be essential to complete the case, that those two persons should be in attendance. , Here the prisoner vehemently declared that it was a forged certificate—that she was never married to any other man than Peter Wilson. Mr. Peter Wilson was then sworn, and stated. that the certifi cate he then held in his hand was that of the marriage of the pri soner at the bar and himself, on the 6th of April, 1818, at the parish church of. St. Martin-in-the-fields. She then represented her name to be Elizabeth Garrod, and a single woman. He had lived with her from that time till the last eight moths, when, from her ruinous behaviour, and finding she had a husband living, he left her, but not without a suitable provision. This, however, she was not contented with, and she was continually disturbing his peace by collecting a mob of people round his house, and threat ening him with the greatest vengeance ; therefore, for his own protection from her violence, he felt himself hound to prefer the present charge against her as the only means left of getting rid of her altogether. Thomas and Sarah Evans deposed to having been present at the marriage of Wilson and the prisoner at St. Martin's church. Sarah Evans is the sister of the prisoner. The Magistrate, under all the circumstances, committed the prisoner for further examination till next Wednesday, in order that the two persons, Galley and Seager, might be brought for ward to prove the first marriage, and summonses were issued requiring their attendance. The prisoner was remanded accord ingly. QUEEN-SQUARE.—JoJn AND MS INFORMATIONS DIS CARDED.—Mister Johnson, the well-known informer, made his appearance at this office on Wednesday last, before W. A. A. WmTx, Esq., the Sitting Magistrate, for the express purpose of lodging a batch of informations against a host of master bakers, who travel with horse and cart to serve their customers, for not having proper scales in the cart, according to the 9th section of the last Bakers' Act. After the documents had been handed to the Magistrate for his inspection, the following dialogue took place : Mr. WHITE, to the informer—Pray, what is your name ? Johnson, Sir ; I lay these informations under the 9th section of the last Bakers' Act. I have a great many more. Mr. WHITE—Very likely : where do you live? Johnson—At Pentonville. Mr. WHlTE—Pentonville! Then, what do you know of these? (meaning the 'informations.) Johnsou—Mv man knows all about them ; he was with me in my cart . _ _ Mr. WHITE—I understand you are a common informer, which is, in my opinion, a very despisable character; and your oath I would not believe, I promise you. Johnson—My man proves the cases, Sir. Mr. \WHITE—Your man ! what, a person who expects part of the penalty on conviction ? I shall not take cognizance of the in formations. Johnson—The Act says I am to lay them before the nearest Magistrate in the district where the party, offends. Mr. Wittrr—l know that perfectly well; therefore take them, if you think, proper, to some Magistrate at Chelsea, where you state the offence to have been committed, for I will not receive them. Hereupon the informations were banded back to Mister John son, who withdrew, greatly chagrined. CITY OF LONDON NATIONAL SCHOOL.

EQUITABLE LOAN 13ANX, At a Meeting held on Monday, Dr. Lus H I NdloN, one of the Vice-Presidents; in'the Chair, Mr. WILEs produced and read the desired report : It recapitulated the circumstances under which the Company had originated, and denied that it could be truly imputed to the Company that it was instituted for the benefit of any Solicitor, Secretary, or other individual. It had received the sanction of the most eminent persons in the metropolis for their rank and philosophy. Mr. Shadwell, who had been consulted, thought the original holders of shares were entitled to come in and sign the deed, but were not entitled to any 'share in the proceeds until they had signed ; 80,000/. had been raised by deposits upon shares ; of this sum 12,0001. had been paid for the College of Physicians, 4,0001. for repairs, and 14,0001. had been applied in conducting the affairs of the Company. The outstanding debts were 8,000/. The sum due for the Solicitorji bill was 5,1791. (Of this Mr. Was declared that he had expended no less than 2,0001. cash out of his own pocket, in fees to Counsel), which suns had been paid. The larger sum was expended in bringing up witnesses from various parts of the country—in advertisements, and other modes of meeting the opposition which they encountered in Par liament. When all demands were paid, the Directors anticipated from the sale of the College of Physicians, a sum of 8,500/. would remain to be divided amongst the Proprietors. This, if it were divided to each who had paid a deposit, would product about Bs, per share; and if the affairs should be wound up as favourably as was expected, and the division was confined to those who had at present signed the deed, a dividend of 12s. or 15s. in the pound would be made. A great change had taken place in the circum stances of the country since the scheme had first been brought forward, and it would be difficult to obtain the requisite capital. The Report, therefore, recommended that the Company should he , dissolved, and that, after all demands were paid, they should: divide the residue amongst those who were legally entitled. After much desultory conversation, a resolution was come tc ''' that all holders of scrip receipts and certificates who have exei, cuted, or may execute the deed, should b e en titled to receive ant dividend that may arise. A'Subscriber complained that so large a sum as 16,0001. beg been expended for the purchase of the College of Physicians, be' fore it was certain that a Bill could be obtained, or the ConipanY be established. Dr. LCSHINGTON : said, that as one, untloubtelly be could:not. make any answer with respect to the propriety of a measure, for the expediency of which the whole body had to answer. After mutual professions, the meeting thus terminated. THE MARKETS. (From the London New Price Current of May 5.)
